Today we have a right wing activist court made because Mitch McConnell denied Obama his CONSTITUTIONAL right to nominate a justice, then during an election year rushed a right wing judge to nomination. These are 2 seats that would have gone to liberal justices and we would not be facing the bs we are now.
This last weekend the Republican activists on the Supreme court ruled to take away things based on 2 bogus cases.
SFA v. Harvard claimed that Asians were discriminated against in admission. SFA is an organization with no students and is made up basically of one white racist who is funded by the right wing billionaires who are buying "conservative" supreme court justices. The case was taken to the court and no Asian was represented
"conservative activist Ed Blum — who is white — argued that Harvard’s and the University of North Carolina’s policies discriminated against Asian Americans, no Asian American students came forward to testify to having experienced discrimination."
Asians argued in support of AA in this case and the right wing activists justices voted to end AA anyway.
WTF?
And then we have this.
The Supreme Court Just Used a Fake Case to Make It Easier to Discriminate Against Gay People
The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in favor of a Colorado web designer’s crusade to make exemptions from anti-discrimination laws so she can refuse to provide services for same-sex weddings.
“Consistent with the First Amendment, the Nation’s answer is tolerance, not coercion. The First Amendment envisions the United States as a rich and complex place where all persons are free to think and speak as they wish, not as the government demands,” the court wrote in an opinion led by Justice Neil Gorsuch.
303 Creative LLC v. Elenis is among the most peculiar cases to reach the highest court of the land. Since 2016, web designer Lorie Smith had been appealing courts to outright make exceptions to Colorado anti-discrimination laws, so she could provide wedding website design services to straight couples only. Smith’s initial suit with a Colorado district court failed in 2019, and her subsequent appeal to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals failed as well. The Supreme Court took up her case in February 2022.
Puzzlingly, before she actually filed the first suit in 2016, Smith had apparently never designed a wedding website. Even weirder: She had never apparently been asked to provide services to a same-sex couple up to that point either.

Two fraudulent cases.

In America, Neil Gorsuch writes, people are “free to think” that gay people are “illegitimate.”
